TL;DR
Linear-algebra rank is the solution to an especially tractable optimization problem which are linear programs relative to certain derived polyhedra.
Abstract
Linear-algebra rank is the solution to an especially tractable optimization problem. This tractability is viewed abstractly, and extended to certain more general optimization problems which are linear programs relative to certain derived polyhedra.

The emphasis in this paper is on relating the matching problem to the theory of continuous linear programming, and the algorithm described does not involve any "blind-alley programming" -which, essentially, amounts to testing a great many combinations.
